I've had this happen consistently now for at least the last week: When I finish the day's game for the first time, it autoends up to the kings, then just sits there...If i try pressing Restart game it tells me I'm finishing it. I have to click on the play button & start over again (Although I will say that having just done the game my times are usually better). Is this happening to anyone else?

Once and while it will happen although it aways seems to be on my best times. LOL

Sometimes it lags and you just have to sit there for a minute.

Me too (but I thought it was just MS Internet Explorer misbehaing or an old version of Sun Java or whatever.

PS It has just happened again when I had a worst time and score than I got earlier today when replaying game (@99

I'll look into it, I have a way around this but don't have the time at the moment to fix it.

Today it didn't happen - finished as normal. It could have something to do with our phone line being dodgy this week - the guys are out there at the moment replacing some cable that got water damaged - apparently some folks in my street have been without their landlines for a week!
Strange that it was water - we just haven't had rain this winter!

I thought it might be something similar to that @saam. At the moment the game will only contact the server once. This means, if your connection is not working or happens to drop out at that time it may not get through. The easiest way around it is to make the game contact the server a few times until it registers.
